C7.9b

(C7.9a) Identify the reasons for any change in your gross global emissions (Scope 1 and 2 combined), and for each of them specify how your emissions compare to the previous year.

Question dependencies

This question only appears if you select “Increased”, “Decreased” or “Remained the same overall” in response to C7.9.

Response options

Please complete the following table:

Reason Change in emissions (metric tons CO2e) Direction of change Emissions value (percentage) Please explain calculation

Change in renewable energy consumption

Numerical field [enter a number from 0-999,999,999,999 using a maximum of 2 decimal places and no commas]

Select from:

  • Increased
  • Decreased
  • No change

Numerical field [enter a number from 0-999 using a maximum of 2 decimal places and no commas]

Text field [maximum 2,400 characters]

Other emissions reduction activities

Divestment

Acquisitions

Mergers

Change in output

Change in methodology

Change in boundary

Change in physical operating conditions

Unidentified

C7.9a - Scoring criteria


Disclosure scoring criteria

The following columns must all be completed in at least one row to score 4 points:

- Change in emissions (metric tons CO2e)
- Emissions value (percentage)
- Direction of change
- Please explain calculation


Awareness scoring criteria

If:

A)

- "Increased" OR "Decreased" is selected in column "Direction of change"

AND if:

- A numerical figure is provided in "Emissions value (percentage)" - 1 point
- A numerical figure is provided in "Change in emissions (metric tons CO2e)" - 1 point
- At least 1 row (other than for reason of change "Unidenified" or "Other") is completed - 1 point

B)

- "Remained the same" is selected in C7.9

AND

- "Increased" is selected in all rows for column "Direction of change" - 0 points

- "Decreased" is selected in all rows for column "Direction of change" - 0 points

- All other selections - 3 points

Note: If no figures are provided for Emissions value (percentage), or figures are zero AND the only row completed is "unidentified" - the maximum possible score is 0/3 Awareness points.


Management scoring criteria

Full points must have been scored at Awareness level to be eligible for Management points. Both rows "Change in Renewable energy consumption" and "Other emissions reduction activities" must be completed with "Decreased" or "No Change" in column "Direction of change" to be eligible for Management points.

If the rows "Other emission reduction activities" AND/OR "Change in Renewable Energy consumption":

- Have a "Change in emissions (metric tons CO2e)" figure above zero; AND
- Have a "Emissions value (percentage)" above zero; AND
- Have a "Direction of change" as "Decreased"; AND
- The formula used in calculation of figure in column "Emissions value (percentage)" is consistent with figure in "Change in emissions (metric tons CO2e)" AND is consistent with guidance for C7.9a, AND fully provided in "Please explain calculation" column - 5 points

The figure provided in each row should be an assessment of how the previous reporting year's total Scope 1 & 2 emissions compare to the current reporting year. Pro-rating or averaging of emissions reductions over a number of years will not be awarded points. Please also ensure that you have read CDP's guidance on accounting for renewable energy. Emissions reductions achieved through carbon offsetting will not be awarded points in C7.9a.


Leadership scoring criteria

Full Management points must have been awarded to be eligible for points at Leadership level.

If for rows "Other emission reduction activities" AND/OR "Change in Renewable Energy consumption":

i) Full Management points have been awarded - 1 point; AND

ii) If the sum of the figure provided in "Emissions value (percentage)" is equal to, or greater than:

- 2.1% - 0.5 points; OR
- 4% - 1 point

Please note points will only be awarded for the rows where full Management points would have been awarded for all four criteria.
